The Early Chapters | A New Chapter Begins

Every good story has a beginning, and this one started a long, long time ago!

If you've been following SnookySmiles Photography for a while, you know that this little blog has been home to so many memories. From tiny newborns and first birthdays to growing families, high school seniors, and all the beautiful, perfectly imperfect moments in between, there's been a whole lot of life captured here over the years.

Since those early days, SnookySmiles has grown, changed, and evolved right alongside the amazing families I've had the privilege of photographing. And just like every good story, it's time for a new chapter!

The newest stories, recent sessions, photography information, and everything happening at SnookySmiles can now be found over at my new website and blog!

Come visit me at www.snookysmiles.com to explore the latest chapters, see what's new, and follow along on all the adventures still to come.

But don't worry... we're not closing the book on this little corner of the internet!

This blog will remain right here, just as it is, filled with all the Early Chapters of our story. Every throwback, every silly smile, every tiny baby who grew into a big kid, and every beautiful memory tucked away in these archives will still be here for you to revisit.

Think of it as an old storybook, its pages a little worn from being loved and reread, filled with familiar faces, favorite memories, and little reminders of just how quickly time flies. You might even stumble across a few familiar faces you haven't seen in years... or discover just how much has changed since those very first sessions!

So whether you're here to take a little trip down memory lane, find an old favorite, or simply see where it all began, grab a cup of coffee, settle in, and stay awhile. There's plenty to explore!

The Early Chapters will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey, from those very first families who trusted me with their memories to the wonderful people who continue to invite me back year after year.

Our story is far from over. There's still so much more to photograph, so many memories to make, and so many new chapters waiting to be written.

Here's to all the memories we've made, the stories we've told, and all the beautiful moments still to come!

With love and smiles,

Melody

2026 Valentine Mini Sessions - Davidson NC

Valentine Mini Sessions are officially open!

I don't do mini sessions often anymore was really excited about this one... These sweet, simple sessions were designed to work beautifully for all ages — from tiny babies and young children to big kids and even teens — with a timeless Valentine feel you’ll love now and still want hanging on your walls long after February. 

Moments move fast. Littles grow even faster. These minis are the perfect way to freeze this season for just a moment.


Spots are very limited and will fill quickly.
Message me on Facebook or text to book your Snookysmiles Photography V-day session before they’re gone!

Baby's 1st Year Plan - Lake Norman and Charlotte NC

Your Baby’s First Year...
It’s truly incredible how much your baby changes in just the first year — from those tiny newborn stretches to the first smiles, chubby rolls, and wobbly steps. These early days pass in the blink of an eye, and I’m always so grateful to the families who trust me to preserve each milestone along the way. 

My Snookysmiles Photography Baby Plan includes Baby’s First Four — a series of sessions designed to document every precious stage of that unforgettable first year.
